COMMITTEE AND THE COMMITTEE OF THE REGIONS

A new EU Forest Strategy: for forests and the forest-based sector

Brussels, 20.9.2013 COM(2013) 659 final

Guiding principle

Sustainable forest management and the multifunctional role of forests, delivering multiple goods and services in a balanced way and ensuring forest protection;

Resource efficiency, optimising the contribution of forests and the forest sector to rural development, growth and job creation

Global forest responsibility, promoting sustainable production and consumption of forest products

cascade principle

wood-based products wood

extending their service life

re-use

recycling

bio-energy and disposal

Supporting our rural and urban communities

Fostering the competitiveness and sustainability of the EU’s Forest-based Industries, bio-energy and the wider green economy

Forests in a changing climate

Protecting forests and enhancing ecosystem services

What forests do we have and how are they changing?

New and innovative forestry and added-value products

Working together to coherently manage and better understand our forests

Forests from a global perspective

Aeraes of priority

Supporting our rural and urban communities

prioritise investments in: modernising forestry technologies; optimising the sector’s contribution to the bio-economy; improving the resilience, environmental value and mitigation potential of forest ecosystems archieving nature and biodiversity objectives; adapting to climate change; conserving genetic resources; forest protection and information; creating new woodl and and agro-forestry systems

Fostering the competitiveness and sustainability of the EU’s Forest-based Industries, bio-energy and the wider green economy

Innovating for Sustainable Growth: A Bioeconomy for

Europe

Brussels, 13.2.2012 COM(2012) 60 final

The Bioeconomy Strategy and its Action Plan aim to pave the way to a more innovative, resource efficient and competitive society that reconciles food security with the sustainable use of renewable resources for industrial purposes, while ensuring environmental protection

The aims

THE BIOECONOMY ACTION PLAN

2.Increase the share of multi-disciplinary and cross-sectoral research and innovation in order to address the complexity and inter-connectedness of societal challenges by improving the existing knowledge-base and developing new technologies. Provide scientific advice for informed policy decisions on benefits and trade-offs of bioeconomy solutions.

9.Provide the knowledge-base for sustainable intensification of primary production. Improve the understanding of current, potential and future availability and demand of biomass (including agricultural and forestry residues and waste) across sectors, taking into account added value, sustainability, soil fertility and climate mitigation potential. Make these findings available for the development and review of relevant policies. Support the future development of an agreed methodology for the calculation of environmental footprints, e.g. using life cycle assessments (LCAs).

Conclusions

Forest Policy of the European Union points to the need for greater recognition of the paradigm of sustainable development in the functioning of the forestry and timber sector. Encouraged to work on a comprehensive assessment of machinery and technologies used in forestry from the point of view of employment and the impact on the natural and social environment at join - Foresty and FBI

Note: The FBI at this context means – Forest Based Industry

Effects in Poland

Certification of forest operation is a permament part of forestry

Put into effect new metod of contracting services

…and challenges

Scietnific base for choose the BAT

Lack of LCA analysis for different technology of harvesting

Poor base for describbing mutlifunctional utilization of forest and balance between functions - within the area of quantification effects

We has started works on the inclusion of forestry in to emissions trading

We are still finacial depending only from wood

Sustainable procurement

Thank you for your patience
